www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/homilies/2007/documents/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20070909_wien_en.htmlOne paragraph of this brief address to a rain-soaked crowd reads:
Quote:
Because Sunday is ultimately about encountering the risen Christ in word and sacrament, its span extends through the whole of reality. The early Christians celebrated the first day of the week as the Lord’s day, because it was the day of the resurrection. Yet very soon, the Church also came to realize that the first day of the week is the day of the dawning of creation, the day on which God said: “Let there be light” (Gen 1:3). Therefore Sunday is also the Church’s weekly feast of creation – the feast of thanksgiving and joy over God’s creation. At a time when creation seems to be endangered in so many ways through human activity, we should consciously advert to this dimension of Sunday too. Then, for the early Church, the first day increasingly assimilated the traditional meaning of the seventh day, the Sabbath. We participate in God’s rest, which embraces all of humanity. Thus we sense on this day something of the freedom and equality of all God’s creatures.
Can it be anymore clear? Creation, as we know it, began on Day1, yes. But it was without form and void and the only thing brought forth was light. It was the Seventh Day that Elohim rested and appreciated His work and set the Seventh Day apart, made holy (kadosh) as a memorial to Creation. If Ratzinger, all his followers, and all those in churches would so much as read the Fourth Commandmenet in Exodus 20, he and all others would see what day Elohim set as a memorial. Ratzinger is a liar and is no representative of any god higher than a few cummulus clouds sparking out a few noisy impulses. Can lightening kill the flesh? Sure. That's okay. The god of this world is known for killing the flesh of the Kingdom of Elohim. Just don't give him obedience to his laws rather than what were the ONLY words spoken for all to hear.
See the 3-page spread in the December 6, 1993 edition of Time Magazine, pages 58-60. The article is a "Profile" and it's name is "Keeper of the Straight and Narrow." The sub-title is: "The Pope's chief enforcer of doctrine and morals, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger is the most powerful prince of the Church and one of the most despised." Go see it for yourself. It's there. Put a couple dimes or quarters in the copy machine and take home a copy. If it weren't against copyright law, I'd post scans of the pages myself.
The article begins:
Quote:
The world's most powerful cardinal lives a stone's throw from St. Peter's Square, above the terminus of the No. 64 bus, a line infamous for pickpockets. Each morning he sets off on foot at a brisk pace, crossing over cobblestones to arrive at 9 a.m. at the palazzo that once bore the title of the Roman and Universal Inquisition. Soft-spoken and courteious, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, 66, looks too benign to be an inquisitor. But his Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the Roman Inquisition's latest incarnation, and as the Catholic Church's chief enforcer of dogma, the Cardinal stands in direct succession to the persecutors of Galileo and the compilers of the index of banned books. The weight of history is borne in the attention Ratzinger receives.
The third paragraph begins:
Quote:
The cardinal wields immense clout in the hierarchy--beginning at the top. The Pope and Ratzinger are, says one mid-ranking Vatican official, "two pieces of a puzzle. Without one, the other is not complete."
The fourth paragraph begins:
Quote:
"I wouldn't be surprised if someday he's looked upon as one of the great saints of our time," says Joseph Fessio, an American Jesuit and a former student.
Ratzinger is so bent on his god, the sun, that he doesn't even care that the sun was not created until day 4. His bent is against the seventh day, the day Elohim calls for all creation to rest in Him. Rome's abbrogation of this fact and rebellion against the Fourth Commandment (as it is in Scripture, not their printings) along with Ratzinger's IGNORANT claim that there should be a "feast of creation" every first day of the week, should be proof enough to anyone with a functioning brain and half a relationship with the Messiah Who Ratzinger claims to be the vicar of, that Romanism has its origins and foundation in the worship of creation and NOT the Creator.
"Mother Earth" Now watch for the rise (pun intended) of "Father Sun."
Ratzinger's dedication to creation rather than the creator should be a resounding alarm to all believers that the "mother church" is indeed the mother of many harlot daughters, daughters who, along with Ratzinger, hold the first day of the week superior to the day the Creator made Holy LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG before any covenant with any "Jew," Israel, really.
And any Bible student worth his salt knows that Ephesians says that Gentiles are grafted into Israel. That indeed they, in times past, were gentiles ------- "IN THE FLESH." So all arguments that "Gentile Christians" should live apart from the Covenant of Israel are in rebellion to the very grafting they celebrate.
Besides, there is no such thing, according to Ephesians 2, as a Gentile Christian. Either you're grafted into Messiah OR you are a Gentile. You can't be both.
Ephesians 2:11
Quote:
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh...
Rome's trickle-down doctrinomics is coming to full bloom with Ratzinger, the "vicar" underneath the santa claus hat.
May Elohim have mercy on all who follow Rome's sanctification of the first day of the week as holy unto YHWH and may he give abundant grace to all who will feel the sting of Rome's proselites who think it better to be Gentiles than grafted into Israel -- along with Israel's covenants.
Get right with YHWH. The head of the Office of the Inquisition now sits on the throne in Rome. His name is Ratzinger. His title is unspeakable. "Pope" is a derivative of papa and we are forbidden to call any man father or any such titles of authority. No man has authority over the believer. There is only one mediator and He is at the right hand of Father and not on a throne in Rome, wearing some, wicked looking santa hat.
May no one who reads Ratzinger's homily fall for such ignorant rhetoric, designed to make all men subject to his insideous power.
And just for anyone who thinks I'm angry, get over it. I'm not angry. However, I am very passionate that those who think man has the power to change what Elohim calls immutable, such as the Ten Commandments, men (apostles, "early church fathers," or your preacher) be alarmed and awakened to "smell the coffee." No man has the power to change times and laws; Daniel says the wicked one only "thinks" he has such power. Pity is that those who claim the "Lord of the Sabbath" fall for the rebellion of Rome and embrace the day set apart by ancient Chaldeans and all the subsequent, pagan, mythological idolators.
This is the day the bride is to make herself white. White means without spot. Spots are caused by sin. Sin is transgression of the Law. The Law demands that the Seventh Day be "REMEMBERED" as set apart, holy for unincumbered time with the Creator who finished His work the previous six days.
Be careful of the wiles of Ratzinger. His message is that of the enemy of the Creator AND Creation.
"Surely YHWH will do NOTHING without that he first tells his servantgs the prophets." --And there is NO prophet who EVER announced as much as a quiet breath that the Fourth Commandment belongs to Jews and would be spurned, boxed and shelved, relegated to the archives of what is construed as "the curse of the Law."
Your choice: Ratzinger or Messiah
Creation or the Creator
The day Elohim made holy or the day paganism made holy.
Choose you this day whom you will serve.
For the love of Messiah and all who are His,
L'Chaim
